Bale Scale Makes Weighing Convenient

Bale Scale Makes Weighing Convenient BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 31-5-26 Elias Scales of North Battleford, Sask., sells 3-pt. hitch bale scales for quick and easy single-bale weighing and transport. The maintenance-free system consists of one sealed, fluid-driven load cell, so no electronics are required, and the weight can be read from the tractor cab. The rugged gauge, which reads in both lbs. and kilograms, has stainless steel works and a fine hand for accurate reading on a 6-in. dial. The fine pointer on the gauge lets you weigh to within one or two lbs. "The Elias scale is quick and easy to use because it's ready immediately after mounting to the tractor's 3-pt. hitch," says company representative Ken Kemp. "It's accurate to within one percent, even if the bale is heavier on one side." The scale is priced at $2,395 (Can.) plus shipping. There is also a front end loader spear scale that quickly mounts in the bucket of the tractor. This model sells for $2,195 (Can.), plus shipping. The company also manufactures and sells a wide range of scales for other applications, including cradle scales and livestock scales. "Our scales have been in service for more than 20 years in both Canada and the U.S., and we have dealers in both countries," Kemp says. "We'd like to expand to other countries as well."
